07-12, 15:00–17:00 (US/Eastern), Tobin 221 (Workshop 2)
In an era of escalating online censorship, maintaining a free and open Internet is crucial. This workshop delves into the Outline ecosystem, a comprehensive toolkit that empowers individuals and organizations to circumvent censorship, share VPN access, and even develop their own blocking-resistant protocols. Participants will gain the knowledge and skills to:
Become VPN Providers: Learn to set up and manage your own Outline server using Outline Manager to share free Internet access with others.
Harness the Outline SDK: Utilize Outline SDK to test and evaluate censorship circumvention strategies, create small tools, and even develop new protocols in restricted regions.
This workshop is designed for individuals passionate about Internet freedom and those seeking to understand the technical underpinnings of censorship circumvention. Participants will gain hands-on experience with the Outline platform, enabling them to actively contribute to a more open and accessible Internet.
